    I’m right there with you Sweet , long standing sicko harness racing gambler

It was a good life.

I wouldn't change a thing.

I'm fortunate to have this last year.

More challenges, more excitement, and trying to end in the black.

With y'all by each others side, here, or meeting up at the track - dining room, seating before the finish line!  ;D

Thanks for your bluntness  ngc3

My kind and I, the "sicko gamblers"  ngc3, will just have to adapt, find something else to enjoy to be unwell  ngc3

Something located somewhere we're appreciated a bit more for our support  ngc3

Like T-Bred racing with a touch of alcoholism that might numb some of the illegal drugs and cheating while my money is in play  ngc3...old dog here, I don't do new tricks!  ;D

Many in the business feel entitled to the purses they race for.  They are in for a big shock at some point.  The horsemen that race for strictly overnight purses will be the first to go...it will spread from there unless someone comes up with a solution.
Look at the age of all participants in the business today.

There is a good mix of older and younger drivers. For every younger driver, you have an older one!

Trainers-probably more older than younger.

Grooms-probably more older than younger.

Owners-probably more older than younger.

When all of the individuals move on, injuries, retirement, death, the pool becomes smaller. Especially owners as they are the ones investing and the younger generations aren’t interested.

Agree 1000 %  and there’s no solution

               Slowly but surely the minute the casino corporations see an opportunity to dump harness racing they will.  The glory days of harness racing are long gone and they’re not coming back.  Outside a small sample of sicko owners and sicko gamblers people could care less about harness racing . I think I heard that the new governor of New Jersey is already looking to not support the meadowlands financially. Liberty Bell, Brandywine, Freestate, Illinois tracks , Pompano , Freehold , Cal Expo, Rideau Carleton , Fraser Downs , Maine tracks, Michigan tracks are the ones that come to mind that are long gone. Hopefully Mr Gural lives a long time but the minute he’s gone , the meadowlands will be gone also. Hard to really feel bad for the horseman, the meadowlands has to beg and plead for their support.

Seems like the value in the first race of the week is #1 Ry's Red Rocket at 4-1 or better.

Anyone else have any value picks on today's card?
